For alternate units, you are asked to give a conver-sion factor (e.g. 5) so that a link is maintained between the two. What you give here is sim-ply a conversion factor that comes up as default during a voucher entry. You may specify adifferent factor during voucher entry.Allow Std. Rates for Stock Items: Standard rates enable the valuation of an inventory atstandard purchase or standard sales prices.

The flexi-bility and ease of creating user-defined Account Heads and groups (Chart of Accounts) as pernature of business or business practice makes Tally.ERP 9 suitable for businesses across indus-tries, verticals and geographies, without changing the way they do their business.3.3.1 Chart of AccountsTally.ERP 9 follows the Double Entry system of Accounting. It records accounting information bydebiting and crediting different Ledger Accounts using different voucher types depending uponthe nature of transaction. It automatically collates the debit and credit amounts and arrives at theclosing balance of each ledger / group / report.3.3.2 Pre-defined Groups of AccountsThere are 28 predefined groups in Tally.ERP 9, which are widely used in the Chart of Accounts ofmany trading organizations. Out of these, 15 groups are Primary Groups and the remaining 13are Sub-Groups.

15.
Creating Accounting Masters in Tally.ERP 9433.3.3 Groups and LedgersGroup is a collection of Ledgers of the same nature. In a business, expenditures like telephoneexpenses, electricity charges, conveyance etc., are commonly incurred. Ledgers based on theseexpenditures are created to be used while accounting vouchers are entered. To know the total ofsuch expenses for any period (a week or a month), similar natured expense ledgers are grouped.Ledger account heads are the actual account heads with which we identify the transactions. Allvoucher entries have to be passed using ledgers. To Understand the concept of Groups andLedgers, let us create Ledgers and Groups in Indus Enterprises.1. Proprietors Capital Account – under Capital Account with an opening balance ofRs.25000.2. Land & Building – under Fixed Assets with an opening balance of Rs.60000.3. Milton & Co – under Sundry Debtors because we have sold some goods to them – with anopening balance of Rs.15000.4. Kaltronic Ltd – under Sundry Creditors – because we have purchased some goods fromthem with opening balance of Rs. 85000.5. Local Sales – under Sales Account with no opening balance.6. Local Purchases – under Purchase Account with no opening balance.7. State Bank of India – under Bank Accounts with an opening balance of Rs. 35000.8. Conveyance – under Indirect Expenses with no opening balance.9. Bank Interest – under Indirect Income with no opening balance.Notice that we have mentioned ledger names under groups i.e., under Capital Account, underSundry Debtor, etc. which are referred to as GROUP names.Ledgers are created in the following manner:Go to the Gateway of Tally > Accounts Info. > Ledgers > Create.The Ledger Creation screen appears as shown below:The Items in square brackets are aliases for the Group Names. This isanother powerful feature of Tally.ERP 9, which allows you to refer to thesame item under several different names.Make sure all the options in the F12: Configure (Master configuration) areset to No. The function of each option will be explained as and when thetopic is covered.

This enables a pres-entation of summarised information.The Groups have a hierarchical organisation. At the top of thehierarchy are Primary Groups where accounts are classified intocapital or revenue, more specifically into assets, liabilities, income andexpenditure to determine the entire accounting and their presentation,i.e., whether a ledger affects Profit & Loss Account (as a revenue item)or goes into the Balance Sheet.Tally.ERP 9 provides a set of reserved groups, based on mercantileaccounting principles, and allows you to modify their names or createsub-groups and primary groups.

Group behaves like a Sub-Ledger – The group behaves like a Control Account for the ledg-ers it contains when set to Yes. Only the group balance will be displayed, not the individualledger balances. It is useful for groups such as Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors (whichare pre-set to Yes) where there can be numerous ledger items.3. Nett Debit/Credit Balances for Reporting – By setting this to Yes, amounts will be displayedas a net figure instead of separate debit and credit balances in reports.Create Group1.

If you enter a name here,another alias field will be displayed, and so on. Tally uses the main name on all displays andreports, but this multiple alias facility is extremely useful for data entry.3. Under: Select Primary from the list of Groups4. Nature of Group: Select Expenses5. Does it affect Gross Profits?: NoSince these are Expenses (and the same is true for Income) which affect the Profit & Loss A/c,Tally.ERP 9 needs to know if the group affects the gross profit. This field will not appear if you areadding a group to an existing group.Nature of Group is displayed when the new Group is created under aPrimary Group. It helps to distinguish whether the group is a part ofassets, liabilities, income or expenses, to identify the correct group forthe Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss A/c.

Creating Accounting Masters in Tally.ERP 960Create other Ledgers given in the Trial Balance1. Remember, you have already input the ledger details for the two Sundry Debtors, the MutualTrust Loan and Petty Cash.2. Work from the Trial Balance, referring to the Chart of Accounts for the group to select, and cre-ate the ledgers using the single or multiple options, depending on the number of ledgers youcreate.3. For the ledgers under Sales Accounts and Purchase Accounts, set Inventory values areaffected? to No. Reset it to Yes when you start Inventory Vouchers.4. Please enter on the ledger names as per the Trial Balance.5. Sundry Creditors should be set up using the multiple options in the same way as the SundryDebtors, except that the opening balances will be credits.6. Watch the debits and credits on the two accumulated depreciation ledgers as, Tally.ERP 9assumes it to be a debit balance (Dr). You need to change this to Cr.7. Create a ledger for Bank Interest even though its balance is zero.Verify the Ledgers and Opening BalancesIn practical situations, that is all you have, the Chart of Accounts and the Trial Balance.You need to match the Trial Balance ledger accounts with the Chart of Accounts. You might putthe opening balance figures in the chart of accounts itself. Tally.ERP 9 needs to know the Groupunder which each account falls at the time you are creating the ledger account.To ease your walk-through, the following Multi Ledger Alteration screen is taken from Tally.ERP9 after entering the data. You can use them to verify your ledger accounts:Go to the Gateway of Tally > Accounts Info. > Ledgers > Multiple Alteration > Select AllItems.
